Dr. Stacy Chamberlin is a Professor in the Regis College Chemistry Department teaching courses across the curricula including Biochemistry, General, Quantitative and Environmental Chemistry, and both Senior and Junior Chemistry Capstone Seminar courses. In addition, she is an active faculty member in the first-year experience teaching both Writing Analytically and relevant communications intensive courses.
Dr. Chamberlin’s research interests are focused on the biophysical characterization of protein and protein-RNA interactions to better understand the interplay between protein architecture and function. Undergraduate students are currently working on two main projects; defining the role of active site architecture in the promiscuity of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase and determining the interactions of the SARS-CoV2 non-structural protein 9 with the 3’- untranslated region of the viral RNA. In addition to research mentoring, Dr. Chamberlin is interested in the development of innovative teaching pedagogies and has recently published student-driven laboratory curricula as a prototype for developing research skills for first-year undergraduate chemists.
